Golden Tails & Trails | Canicross,Trail Running With Dogs & Weight Loss for Women
Welcome to Golden Tails & Trails — the dog podcast for women who want to feel healthier, happier and more connected through life on the trails with their dogs.
I’m SJ, a women’s fitness and Canicross coach, joined by my two golden retrievers, Skye and Daisy — your four-legged co-hosts bringing muddy paws, real life moments, and plenty of trail-side wisdom.
This podcast blends dog stories, outdoor adventures, and realistic wellbeing conversations for women who love walking, running, hiking, Canicross, and building an active lifestyle with their dogs. Whether you’re starting your first dog walk for fitness, exploring trail running, navigating menopause, improving your mindset, or simply looking for motivation to get outside, you’ll find encouragement here.
Each episode includes:
• real-life stories from the trails with Skye and Daisy
• fitness, weight-loss and motivation support for women
• Canicross and running-with-dogs guidance
• dog kit and gear reviews to help you and your dog adventure safely
• expert guests from the dog, fitness and wellbeing world
• honest conversations about womanhood, confidence, mental wellbeing and everyday life with dogs
You don’t need to be a runner.
You don’t need perfect motivation.
You just need a lead, a pair of trainers, and a dog who’s ready for adventure.
So come along with us — walking, jogging, running and rediscovering wellbeing one trail at a time.
Because sometimes the best therapy has four legs and a muddy tail. 🐾✨

Does the 30-30-30 regime actually work? 🌅💪
My thoughts on Gary Brecka's regime of starting your day strong with 30g of protein within 30 mins of waking up, paired with a 30-minute low-intensity workout.
Is it the perfect formula for weight loss, especially during menopause? Here's to nourishing the body and embracing a fit, fabulous lifestyle! 🥗🏋️♀️

🌟 Prioritise to Prosper: The Power of Letting Go 🌟
In the hustle and bustle of modern life, it's easy to get caught up in the chaos and clutter. But here's the secret to finding success and serenity: Prioritisation and Letting Go.
🔹 Prioritise: Identify what truly matters to you. Focus your time, energy, and resources on your most important goals and values. Make a list of your priorities and stick to it.
🔹 Letting Go: Sometimes, success means releasing what no longer serves you. Whether it's old habits, toxic relationships, or unnecessary commitments, have the courage to let them go.
✨ When you prioritise what matters and let go of what doesn't, you create space for growth, happiness, and abundance. It's a transformative power that can lead you to prosperity in all aspects of life.
Love and light
